Nippon Kaigi affiliation?
editI am having trouble finding a source to tie Ishiba to Nippon Kaigi. I have, however, found ample sources describing him as relatively moderate, looking to expand cooperation with South Korea. I do not want to unilaterally remove the claim as it was recently edited and expanded upon, but I would like there to be a source for the claim ASAP. Bpcon98 (talk) 23:55, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Many of the Nippon Kaigi claims are fairly poorly sourced. There are three cited later down the line, but one is pay walled, and the other two are non-digital papers. Japanese Wikipedia is also fairly poorly sourced on them, and uses an Asahi cross-search which is unavailable to most people. I think there's a general issue here in verifying validity.

Reddish picture
editAm I the only one seeing the picture of Shigeru Ishiba as way more reddish compared to the one in the article on the 2024 Liberal Democratic Party election ? DanganMachin (talk) 16:05, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- You're not the only one. The image does look redder than the one in the election article. Looking at file history someone made the image on this page redder a few years ago for unclear reasons. Zinderboff(talk) 16:27, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
First Christian leader?
editIs Shigeru Ishiba Japan's first Christian leader? Yes, he only leads the LDP today, but the question stands. DOR (ex-HK) (talk) 17:52, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- No, he's not. Many Japanese PMs have been Christian. Basil the Bat Lord (talk) 03:58, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
Translation
editI will work translating the Japanese wikipedia page to help expand this. Any help would be appreciated River10000 (talk) 16:10, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

- Thanks for pointing out. I also waited for this update. Former Japanese PM pages also have official portrait in the infobox. JoshuaJ28 (talk) 06:29, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, thanks for pointing this out. Didn't realize it was uploaded before today River10000 (talk) 11:49, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Nippon Kaigi
editAs the source itself says it's not a party. Accordingly, I delete it from the infobox. Martianmister (talk) 11:42, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
